Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A vulnerability has been identified in RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX MX5000RE (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1400 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1500 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1501 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1510 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1511 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1512 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1524 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX1536 (All versions < V2.16.0), RUGGEDCOM ROX RX5000 (All versions < V2.16.0). The web interface of the affected devices are vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks. By tricking an authenticated victim user to click a malicious link, an attacker could perform arbitrary actions on the device on behalf of the victim user.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the web interface of multiple RUGGEDCOM ROX devices (MX5000, MX5000RE, RX1400, RX1500, RX1501, RX1510, RX1511, RX1512, RX1524, RX1536, RX5000). An authenticated user tricked into clicking a malicious link can have arbitrary actions performed on the device by the attacker.

MitigationUpdate RUGGEDCOM ROX devices to firmware version V2.16.0 or later to remediate the CSRF vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the RUGGEDCOM ROX device model
    Log into the device via CLI or web interface and locate the model name (MX5000, MX5000RE, RX1400, RX1500, RX1501, RX1510, RX1511, RX1512, RX1524, RX1536, or RX5000).
    Affected if The device model is any of these listed models.
  2. Check the installed firmware version
    Access the web interface and navigate to System Info or About page, or use the CLI command 'show version' or 'show system-info' to retrieve the firmware version.
    Affected if The firmware version is below 2.16.0.
  3. Verify the web interface is enabled
    In the web interface, go to Network > HTTP/HTTPS settings, or check via CLI with 'show http' or 'show https' to confirm the web service is active.
    Affected if The web interface (HTTP or HTTPS) is enabled on the device.
  4. Confirm authentication method in use
    Check if local user accounts or external authentication (RADIUS, TACACS+) is configured under User Management or AAA settings in the web interface or CLI.
    Affected if Users authenticate to the web interface, as CSRF requires an authenticated session.

A user is affected if they have a RUGGEDCOM ROX device (any model listed) running firmware version below 2.16.0 with the web interface enabled and accessible to authenticated users.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 2.16.0 or later
Fixed in 2.16.0
Interim mitigation

Update RUGGEDCOM ROX devices to firmware version V2.16.0 or later to remediate the CSRF vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

Firmware V2.16.0 or later for Ruggedcom ROX MX5000, MX5000RE, RX1400, RX1500, RX1501, RX1510, RX1511, RX1512

  1. Download the firmware version 2.16.0 or later for your specific Ruggedcom ROX device model from the Siemens cert-portal or official Siemens support channels
  2. Review the firmware upgrade instructions in the Ruggedcom ROX product documentation
  3. Ensure you have a backup of the current device configuration before proceeding
  4. Upload and install the new firmware version 2.16.0 onto the affected device
  5. After upgrade, verify the device is functioning correctly and confirm the firmware version has been updated
  6. Consider implementing additional CSRF protections such as SameSite cookie attributes or anti-CSRF tokens if the web application supports custom configuration
